What initial action should the OT take to acquire more information related to the patient’s priority?

A. Determine the amount of assistance the family is able to provide the patient after discharge
B. Assess the patient’s neurobehavior responses during simple meal preparation

Answer is A. There is no support from the spouse at home since she is working outside of the home. We will need to look at the next option in line which would be talking to the family and seeing if they are able to assist the patient after discharge.
